"What prompts me to revisit this topic is a PR campaign launched to
engender support for new copy-protected   CDs. "

"To justify copy protection, the record labels are trotting out
statistics that I can't believe more journalists haven't challenged."

"I'd encourage all consumers to refuse to buy protected CDs. In fact,
I'll put it in writing: My family won't buy music that we can't rip to a
PC—no matter how much my son begs."

"I'd also warn the industry to stop labeling anyone who's ever ripped a
CD "pirate." "
